Roots

In the middle of a storm of user rights, copyrights, intellectual property rights, and generally a whole lotta difficulty, rumour, uncertainty and confusion, True XOXO has challenged its DT to be inspired by Pinterest this month.

Pinterest, for me, at least before this storm came a-brewin', firstly an explosion of visual stimulation, and secondly, a place where I dream about the house that we are currently looking for. From that angle I have scrapped a photo of our little family and how we are putting down roots in this here city, as well as incorporating aspects that I think are visually stimulating, like bright colours contrasted with dark ones, patterned paper shapes, and a little airplain effect that I'm already very fond of!

Go check out the new XOXO blog and join in with the challenge - you could win a guest DT spot!

... and handmade too!

A hundred years ago a crinoline lady was born, and she embroidered, knitted, sewed and crocheted until her eyes gave out at 95. A small girl would watch her grandmother, wide-eyed with fascination, as flowers sprang up on tablecloths and the edges of cushions frilled out in lace. That little girl was my mum, and now it's my turn to remember her beautiful creations from my childhood, and to chart my own crafting journey.
